Our Vision and Mission
🌱 Seedbank Match Opportunity
A Purpose-Driven Investment in Growth & Service
When you enroll in our program (tuition: $1,500), you’re investing in more than just training — you’re stepping into a journey of healing, transformation, and purpose.
Graduates who complete all required milestones on time and remain engaged not only grow personally and professionally — they may also receive a $500 Launch-Pad Grant, awarded one year after graduation. This grant is not a refund or rebate, but a performance-based investment in the next season of your purpose.
Think of it as seed money — a springboard into launching your own business, ministry, healing group, or community project. It’s our way of supporting the next chapter of impact, helping you move from being healed to helping heal others.
This opportunity rewards sustained engagement, accountability, and community contribution — and it’s available to those who are ready to step boldly into their calling.
💸 Match Potential: Up to $1,000
Through our Seedbank Growth Fund, this $500 grant may be matched dollar-for-dollar by generous sponsors and donors who believe in your journey. This match is not automatic and is contingent upon fund availability and graduate eligibility.
This is more than a financial reward—it is a recognition of your perseverance, faith, and commitment to service.
💼 Practicum + Purpose = Activation
To be considered for the Seedbank grant and potential match, each graduate must complete a purpose-driven practicum that aligns with the mission of our nonprofit, Anna Mae Sonflower Seeds.
Eligible practicum projects include:
-
A Service Project supporting vulnerable women, children, and families
-
A Business-aligned Practicum Assignment that serves community needs through our nonprofit
-
A Public Workshop or Community Event that activates your God-given calling and promotes healing, growth, or empowerment
These activities serve as a launchpad for your leadership, ensuring your development creates ripple effects beyond the classroom.
🌟 Why It Matters
This isn’t a refund. It’s not income. It’s a symbolic act of reinvestment—sowing back into those who sow into others. The Seedbank is about legacy leadership: planting purpose, nurturing growth, and harvesting collective impact. By enrolling in this program, all participants acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of participation, including eligibility requirements for Seedbank grants, practicum expectations, and post-program milestones. & Conditions are agreed upon.

Tesha Goodson
I found Dena's Certified Christian Life Coach Course. She was the one who asked what are you looking to accomplish? Not only did she give me the tools and skills to effectively improve the quality of life for my clients but she gave me those tools and skills to prepare me to be the best ME for my clients.

I'm already going through withdrawal. I really enjoyed the class. It was my first time taking an online class and I didn't know what to expect, but I was so blessed. "
Tamika Somorin
This program was absolutely amazing and exactly what I needed to acknowledge my own reflection, but the tools to dig and break glass ceiling within myself. It is also the tools needed to hold God space for others and help them to move forward in their life.
